• This is their first World Cup meeting. Tunisia have hosted the Netherlands in three friendlies, losing the first, 4-0 in April 1978, but drawing both games since, most recently in February 2009 (1-1).
• Tunisia have won only one of their 13 FIFA World Cup matches against European opposition (D4 L8), their sole victory coming in a 1-0 triumph over France in their final group game in 2022.
• Tunisia have won three of their 20 World Cup matches (D5 L12).
• Only two of Tunisia’s 20 World Cup matches have finished goalless.
• Ellyes Skhiri could set a new Tunisian record for FIFA World Cup appearances with his ninth, having currently shared the benchmark of eight with Riadh Bouazizi and Kais Ghodhbane.
• The Netherlands are unbeaten in their five World Cup matches against African teams with a 1-1 draw against Egypt in 1990 followed by four successive wins.
• The Netherlands have lost only two of their 35 group-stage matches at the FIFA World Cup (including both first and second group phases). The only teams to beat them in group play are Scotland in 1978 and Belgium in 1994. They are currently unbeaten in their last 18 group stage games (W13 D5).
• The Dutch have not lost a World Cup match in regular time since Spain edged them 1-0 in the 2010 final. Since then, across 14 games, they have recorded nine wins and five draws – their longest unbeaten run in World Cup history. Their only eliminations in that span have come via penalty shoot-outs, both times at the hands of Argentina, first in the 2014 semi‑finals, and again in the 2022 quarter‑finals.
• The Netherlands have never failed to advance from their group at a FIFA World Cup, progressing from all nine first‑round groups and both second‑round groups they have contested.
• The Netherlands could complete a sixth successive World Cup group stage without losing a match (1998, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022).
• Cody Gakpo has now scored five goals in seven appearances at the FIFA World Cup. Only six Dutch players have scored more in the history of the tournament.
• Crysencio Summerville has scored in each of his first two FIFA World Cup appearances. Should he find the net again, he would become only the second Dutch player to score in his first three World Cup games, matching Cody Gakpo’s feat from 2022.
